CHAPTER 63: CH 63 : LIMIT BREAK

A wave of pure, triumphant power washed over Sunny as his faith reserves crested the hundred-billion mark.

The number felt monumental, a concrete symbol of his burgeoning influence.

The last 79 billion had been accumulated in just four hours, a speed that was both exhilarating and sobering.

He realized he could now generate a hundred billion in just five hours, but even this immense power wasn’t enough for the grand scheme brewing in his divine mind.

Despite the ever-increasing pile of faith, he decided to spend a significant portion of it on a new demigod.

His world, Veridia, had a demigod to handle death and wickedness in Cerberus, but it lacked a demigod to complete the other half of the cycle: life.

A philosophical idea struck him—a duality of existence, two sides of the same coin.

He took a single Divine Embryo and, with a thought, divided it into two distinct bodies. One male, one female.

They manifested as breathtakingly beautiful figures, with bodies sculpted like marble and a serene grace that radiated with a soft, warm light.

Their skin was ethereal, their eyes the color of a clear sky, and from their backs grew a pair of brilliant white wings, each feather shimmering with divine energy.

They were beings of pure life energy, a perfect counterpoint to the terrifying figure of Cerberus.

As for their talents, Sunny made them a perfect, albeit opposite, match to the Guardian of the Netherworld.

Guardian of Heaven (SSS-Grade): This talent allowed them to have a connected pocket world within their divine being, a sacred space to store the souls of the righteous.

This talent was far more expensive than Cerberus’s because it had no restrictions on the enjoyment of the souls.

This was a true utopia, where a soul could enjoy all the luxury and peace it had ever wished for.

Soul Plucker (SS-Grade): Similar to Cerberus’s talent, this allowed them to collect souls, but with a crucial difference.

They could only pick the souls of those with a pure heart and who had accumulated a huge amount of merit for Veridia.

Light Affinity (SS-Grade): This talent granted them a profound affinity for light magic, allowing them to purify demonic energy, heal the sick, and guide the lost.

Afterlife (SS-Grade): This unique talent allowed them to manage the afterlife of a soul.

Those with immense merits in life could even be granted reincarnation or a chance at rebirth, a new beginning in a new body, or even a different race.

With these talents, the demigod of life was complete.

Sunny named the male figure Uranus and the female Gaia.

Both originated from the same divine embryo, so they shared an unspoken connection.

They could only perform their full powers when in close proximity, a testament to their shared origin.

This endeavor cost Sunny 5 billion faith points in total, a sum that felt like a mere tickle to his reserves.

With his mental command, both Uranus and Gaia came to life, and even when apart, it felt as if they were connected by some unseen, profound force.

Similar to Cerberus, Sunny ordered them to wander Veridia and begin their sacred task of collecting the souls of good life forms.

As this new creation was complete, Sunny decided to spend the next few hours indulging in the things he loved—playing games and reading novels.

While he was busy, another race began to appear in his world.

They had the horns and fangs of a demon but the body of a human.

They were a demonic race, but because they were born in Sunny’s world, they were free from the mental magic of the Demon of Discord.

They were similar to other life forms, but with innate demonic powers.

Sunny knew that powers don’t define someone as good or evil; it’s the use of that power that matters.

A priest can be corrupt, and a demon can be a virtuous being.

If he nurtured them well, this race would become one of the strongest due to their demonic lineage.

This task was left to Clone Watcher number two.

As Clone Watcher number one was busy with Loki’s predicament and Clone Watcher number three was focused on Veridia, clone number two created a new demigod for this race.

This new demigod would manage all the demonic races that would come under Sunny, similar to the Veilborn race.

He named the new demigod Diabolo.

With a talent similar to the other demigods of the races, Diabolo was tasked with leading this new race.

The demonic race was still unnamed, so Sunny decided to leave the naming to them.

Even while immersed in a game, Sunny was acutely aware of everything happening in both the Realm of Advancement and Veridia.

The game he was currently in was one of Thea’s creations.

It was an open-world game with unlimited possibilities, filled with intelligent NPCs with various magical and technological abilities.

The game had a 99.9% realism factor; players could even feel pain and taste.

This worked only when a god gave Thea permission to do so.

Otherwise, Thea couldn’t use a single particle to hurt a god or give them pain or taste through their nerves.

Many gods were enjoying this game, as they could now truly connect with each other.

Sunny could even ask the gods to provide all the knowledge of the Blue Planet to Thea, which would help her recreate it virtually. Sunny decided to add this to his to-do list; gods would pay every penny to feel the air of their home planet again. Now that most of his immediate tasks were done, he just needed to collect the faith and start laying the cards for his grand plan.

Meanwhile, in a magnificent castle in the Realm of Advancement, a meeting of the leaders from all over the races in Veridia was taking place. "I am going to visit Veridia, as my father is about to break through to B-Grade," said Anaske, to the other leaders.

"I also need to visit Veridia for my breakthrough to S-Grade," Thalorax, the leader of Dragon born said in his cold and aloof tone.

Currently, Anaske was the leader of the empire.

His Celeste Royal family was still the strongest among the other races.

Many members of the royal family had chosen to marry different beast folks, creating demi-humans that further mixed and enhanced their talents.

Soon, races not physically capable of being partners with the royal family were also included in the royal family, making the Cosmic Empire a unique, harmonious blend of diverse races.

The Cosmic Empire was ruled by the Celeste Royal family, but this family was controlled by the joint voting of all the other races.

Due to Anaske being the strongest, apart from Thalorax, he was chosen as the leader of the Cosmic Empire.

Anaske wanted to return to Veridia as his father, Thorn, was attempting a breakthrough to B-Grade.

This would be the first occurrence of any life form in Veridia breaking their limits, a monumental event that marked a new era.
